Personaly to each his own, but I hate billet grills. Its like every person I see thinks to be cool they have to get a billet grill. There are a ton more choices out there, and please people try to install it the professional way. That means cutting out your grills black plastic bars. Otherwise the grill doesnt look right. The only thing worse than a billet grill is a crappy installed one.

I finally got a pic of mine. I like the Billet grill better than the speed type and I may paint mine black later on. Dude, don't hate on what others like. I could say the same thing about your suede.

I adjusted the left side already.

Well just as everyone is entitled to their own opinion, ^^^^^ that is YOUR opinion. I bought the grill because I liked the way it looked at it was cheaper than buying another type.

Didnt I say that? "Personaly to each his own, but I hate billet grills." Jebus no one reads anythying. if you like your billet grill then more power to you. I was giving my opinion and I said I was.

And your right Billet grills are cheap.

dont buy the matrx grill. its brand new but they send you to top parts and you have to cut one to make it fit the bottom.

Are the ebay grills chromed steel or chromed aluminum? I have concerns about Wintertime accelerating the rusting process on a chromed steel grill.

They do look sharp. It's a subtle custimization that you have to take a hard look to notice.

You gotta read the ad. They are different for each one. Mine is polished aluminum, and the rest is powdercoated black.

HTH,

Quick ? I just installed the billet grill from Grills4U, I think, from E-bay. Did anybody have any problems installing the lower half? I went by the instructions and I think it sits too far back. Anybody else run into this? I think I'm going to pull it out and re-fit it.
